I finally decided to make an art thread to prove how bad my drawings are. And they really are terrible!
Here is the first one: (Sorry about the lines, I drew it on notebook paper.)
I don't know what you mean by terrible. They're much better than mine are. Good work!

She always says stuff like that. She drew some really awesome pictures and I told her that they looked good. She doesn't believe me!
You artists and your self-deprecation. ::)
It's a bit hard to make out the picture, but from what I can see it looks pretty good. I like the shading you put in to accentuate the folds of the cloth.

Monet never liked his art either.
That's very nicely done, Flib!
It's not! The ears look weird and the shapes aren't right...

What do you mean? It's great!
I like it, Flib! I was immediately attracted by the hands/paws. Very nice.

See what I mean?
Nice work, Flib!
NOW do you see what I mean?
Oooh, another one. Neat drawing!
What I meant was, now do you see why I don't like my drawings?
No. Your drawings are great.
You're just saying that to make me mad.
No. I'm saying that because it's true.
Well... YOUR FACE.

You
are good, Flib!
None of my drawings turn out the way I want them to.
You may not want my opinion, but that's part of the fun of art, I think. It can evolve and be molded on the fly, and that's what will make your art yours. I'd like to encourage you to keep going if you don't think your art is as good as you want it to be. Every one will be better than the last.
If I may use
@lass of something much as an example, over the time that I have seen her on here, her art has changed and improved further than I think she may realize. Perhaps she's not where she wants to be, but we can see her improving and that's because she just keeps trying and is developing a style of her own.
If you want to find her, there's an incredible artist within you waiting to break out.
Yeah, honestly, Flib, in a few years time, if you keep working on it, you'll pass all of us in skill. Time itself is on your side. All I can really add to what Skarz said is: Draw as much as time allows you, and don't be afraid to trace or copy, it's a good way to improve!
Well, I did not expect that...
Besides, I haven't been drawing very much recently, because midterm and all the teachers try to make you do as much work as possible, and all that.
^You mean in your virtual classes, Flib?^
I'm not complaining.
This is the one of Petka, and it took a while to finish. The other pictures were just sketches, but I colored this one in.
Oooh! Very nice!

Petka is our 8 year old sister.
Here are some more I don't think I've posted yet:
Ey! These are good! I especially like the one on the far right!
yes.

Oh thanks, sorry though that one got cropped off weird so you can't see it that well, but thanks!
Those are great, Flib!
Nice! The last one is my favorite, and the folds of the dress look great.
Yeah! The folds are sooo much better than mine!
Yeah, I agree with Skarz!
They are my favorite things to draw! :D
This one was my little sister starting a pillow fight.
Cuuuuuuttteeee!!! XD
Niiice!
AWWWWWWWW!!! And how'd ya know I wear a turtle necklace? :O
Do you?

I mean, you drew your sister wearing one. And those Baby Lassie pictures...
Teer, my little sister, and my older sister also all have one, though they don't always wear theirs
Welp, I'm glad you like it anyways!
Of course I like it! Though I think the chins need to be a little less...Pointy...
Ah. Thanks for the advice.
More art? Please?
Oh all right.
This is a picture of Eilonwy. The face is a little strange, but I had fun doing her dress and cape.
Oooh, that is nice!
Niiice! The dress and cape are very cool.

Good one, Sis!
By the way, Flib drew Eilonwy as a present for our mom, but I had to force her to post it here because she said the picture looked awful (of course it isn't).
Sshh!
EDIT: Also, here is one of Rip:
Sorry it looks weird
Ohhh!! Wait...Why is she firebending and waterbending 0.o
These are excellent pics! Keep up the good work. :)

It's a cross between the two.
Impossible...I personally think you're a firebender

I just doodled both for fun, and Rip told me to post it.
(Also, I am a firebender but I'm learning waterbending too)
I mean, it's well done, but seriously! DON'T BE MARRY SUES..
Oooh! Very nice, Flib!

I mean, if you don't want me to learn waterbending, ok...

I'm saying that because when I made my character SUCH a marry sue, and I am trying to save Flib and Rippy from the same thing..
ANYWAY. Really well done art, Flib!
More!
This is Smol Corny.
Adorable...So adorable X3
On Christmas Day, so she's holding a stocking. (I know a lot of people here don't celebrate Christmas, but I made it the day before Christmas Eve and I was kind of stuck as to what she would be holding, so I did a stocking.)
At last she posts the grand picture of smol Corny...she drew it ages ago!
Oooh, niiice!
I enjoyed looking through your drawings, Flib. :)
Some more art I haven't posted yet:
Guess who the first one is.
Is the first one Princess Kuda from triss? (I think that was her name...)
Also, just I tip: I advise making the eyes a little further apart, and maybe move the eyes further down to almost touch the nose' sides. wider cheeks would help too :)
Like so:

Yes! (actually it's spelled Kurda not Kuda)
And thanks for the advice! I have the most trouble with faces so that will come in handy. :)
I really like the Viking Longship!!
Very nice! The boat is awesome!
Great drawings, Flib!
Whoaaa, that first one is so goood
These are great! I like the trees.

Thanks! It's Martin the Warrior.
Edit: I just finished this one:
(It's Abbess Mhera and a Dibbun, but it's kinda hard to see.)
Very niiice!
Awww, it looks nice!
Oooo Seatar again!! :)
Oooh, nice!
BTW I just thought I should warn y'all that Flib won't be on the forum for about a month.

Nope. Guess again.

Yes, I came back for a smol visit, but I'll be gone after today for a long time.
Farewell, Flib. You will be missed.
"It's all part of the plan" ;D
Hee ho! Flib is determined to stay off the forum for Lent, but I doubt she will last that long.
I'm a little late to the party, but your drawings look great, Flib! I love the one of Martin and the trees! Have you done any others since March?
Nope.
YESH! She drew a shield, but she threw it away before I could get a picture of it.
I didn't throw it away. It's still at the fellowship hall.
-_-
;D Serves you right.
